These days, Patrick Mahomes requires an entourage of sorts to go from place to place. The popular quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs is an easily recognizable figure anywhere in North America and the growing popularity of the sport and the team are giving him a global platform as well.

 

But just in case he ever wondered what it would look like to be even more popular as an athlete, he got a glimpse of the next few rungs up the ladder on Saturday at his own home stadium. Arrowhead Stadium was transformed into a soccer venue for the first time since 2007 on Saturday as Sporting KC played host to Inter Miami.

The presence of international superstar Lionel Messi has made Inter Miami a must-see event at every possible date—road and home—which has led to surging ticket prices (and demand). Hence a Chiefs-like crowd of well over 70,000 to see a soccer match in Kansas City. It wasn’t at all surprising to see Mahomes and his wife Brittany in attendance since they are major supporters of soccer in Kansas City. They’re not only minority owners in Sporting KC since 2021, the host team on the day, but they are also co-owners in the Kansas City Current.

 

Heading into the match, it was cool to see a quick moment as Messi was ushered past Mahomes heading into the stadium and the duo shared a moment. Mahomes would end up seeing Messi and Inter Miami leave with a 3-2 win in front of a stadium filled with Messi fans despite being a road game. Such is the reality for a player whose very presence can cause major security concerns, overwhelmed fans, and logistical nightmares.

Speaking of popularity, it’s amazing to think how much more well-known Messi is than Mahomes even via social metrics. Mahomes has nearly 7 million followers on Instagram while Messi has over 500 million. On an international level, Messi has a massive cult-like following but now even in America, Messi was recently named the most popular athlete in 2024 by SSRS.

There’s no doubt as Mahomes continues to add records, championships, and international appearances to his resume, he will become more recognizable than ever. But maybe seeing the mechanics behind trying to enjoy life in any public way for a player like Messi might leave Mahomes grateful for how things are now.

 

 

Tom Brady is so sad of the young man he called son.

On Thursday, April , the retired NFL pro, 46, appeared on DeepCut with VicBlends, opening up about his oldest child, son Jack. Brady shares his 16-year-old with ex Bridget Moynahan, and is also dad to son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, whom he shares with ex Gisele Bündchen, 43.

 

“I mean my oldest son, Jack, he’s an amazing young man. Straight As. Handles himself so well in groups of people and I see him and he’s 16, and I’m like how are you so mature,” Brady raves.

“[He] lives in New York City, puts his heart and soul into everything he does. I mean he just, he blows me away with who he is.”

In the same interview, Brady got candid about when he first became a parent, sharing that he felt his journey to fatherhood improved with time.

“You get better as a parent, I think, because you know when you’re a young parent, you don’t really know what you’re doing. You’re winging it. You’re trying to wing it,” Brady said.

“So I think when you become a parent, you’re trying new things for the first time, you’re going through all these things for the first time so you don’t exactly know always the right thing to say. As you go, you get a little bit better at it, you get a little more understanding of it and you try to just continue to kind of refresh your skills as a parent.”

“‘Am I listening or am I talking? Am I mentoring, or am I disciplining? Am I holding them accountable or am I letting them get away with things?’ ” added the dad of three.

In a sit-down interview with Robin Roberts in March, Bündchen opened up about her relationship Jack.

“I got to experience how it is to feel, to be a mom before I was even a mom. To be a bonus mom,” she shared. “So I got to experience how my heart could feel that love and just expand in ways I never thought were possible.”

Later in her conversation with Roberts, the cookbook author remembered meeting her stepson when he was very little.

“But I mean, I met him when he was 3 months old, you know? I raised him like. I love him,” Bündchen added.

Thanks to Travis Kelce’s wildly successful football career, he has been a sports superstar for years. However, Kelce’s much-talked-about relationship with Taylor Swift has taken the amount of attention paid to him to a whole new level.

A perfect example of that is the attention that now gets paid to Kelce’s fortune since he is getting rich from his relationship with Swift. There has also been interest in how much money Kelce has made from hosting Saturday Night Live. What is even more interesting than that is the fact that despite his current fortune, Kelce almost went broke years ago.

How Did Travis Kelce Almost Go Broke?

During the 2013 NFL Draft, Travis Kelce was drafted in the third round. Chosen as the 63rd overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs, it was clear nobody expected Kelce to become one of the NFL’s biggest stars. Still, even though Kelce wasn’t one of the top draft picks, that doesn’t mean that he wasn’t able to cash in right away.

According to spotrac.com, a website that tracks athlete salaries, Kelce’s first contract with the Chiefs was considered to be entry-level. Sportrac reports that under that first four-year contract, Kelce was set to be paid a total of $3,126,304. Sportrac reported that on top of receiving a $703,304 signing bonus, Kelce was paid $781,576 annually for those four years.

Of course, those figures are nothing compared to what Kelce gets paid now. However, Kelce receiving $1,484,880 that first year of his contract must have been gigantic for him at the time. In the years since then, Kelce has revealed that he went wild after his first big payday.

In 2021, Kelce made an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast. During the resulting conversation, Kelce spoke at great length about his life and career. Arguably the most interesting part of the conversation came when Kelce was asked about his finances early in his career. “What was the first thing you purchased with some of your money from your rookie contract.”

Travis Kelce’s Breeder Comments Resurface As His Intentions With Taylor Swift Are Questioned

Travis made questionable comments about wanting to find a “breeder” to have kids with months before he started dating Taylor.

In response to that question, Kelce revealed something that most fans likely will find hard to believe. According to Kelce’s comments during that interview, he quickly spent all the money he first got paid from his rookie contract.

“Man, you want a, I spent it all, Shannon. I should have been on the 30 for 30: Broke the way I was spending!”

In 2012, ESPN released a documentary that is titled 30 for 30: Broke. During that documentary, the fact that many athletes who made tens of millions a year would later go bankrupt. The reason for that is athletes typically aren’t educated in finances and they spend like the money will never stop coming in. Once those athletes either retire or start getting paid less, there is no way for them to pay for the debts they’ve accumulated.

After Kelce revealed he spent every penny he made during the first part of his contract, he offered some free and valuable advice to any young athletes whose careers are taking off.

“All the young guys in the league, all the guys that have the opportunity to, you know, get that big first check from the NFL, save it man. Find a financial adviser you trust, that’s going to do right with your money. Cause, I was searching around for car deals after my first year, just trying to pay rent.”

Travis Kelce opened up about how being with someone so successful can be intimidating, and how he puts a lot of pressure on himself.

 

 

Lately, whenever Taylor Swift sets foot in a ceremony (or basically anywhere), she makes history. And the 2024 Grammy Awards were no exception. Throughout the night she broke records, announced new material, and dazzled fans all over the world. Meanwhile, her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who couldn’t be by her side due to his very busy schedule, watched the awards from home, and his admiration for her only grew.

Taylor and Travis are arguably the greatest power couple in the world right now, but with the singer making the headlines practically every single day, and bringing attention to him in the process, the NFL player can’t help but feel pressured to keep up with his incredibly successful partner.

Travis Kelce Feels Nervous About Keeping Up With Taylor

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship stands out for how supportive the two of them are of each other. They are both incredibly successful in their fields, and they’re always seen cheering each other on, whether that is at football matches or at sold-out concerts. Although Travis Kelce is an incredible player, and is now preparing for the 2024 Super Bowl (which is obviously one of the biggest things an NFL player can strive for), it would be useless to deny that Taylor Swift is in a league of her own. She’s hugely more popular than him, which at one point was a concern for the Kelce family, and after her triumph at the Grammys, Travis opened up about how being with someone so successful can be intimidating, and he puts a lot of pressure on himself.

“She’s unbelievable,” he said about her. “She’s rewriting the history books herself. I told her I’ll have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware, too.” It’s not just the fact that she’s breaking records left and right, it’s also that she’s bringing a lot more attention to him during matches. “You can’t put any more pressure than I put on myself, I promise you that,” he explained. “That’s just the heart of a competitor. She’s definitely brought a lot of new faces to the game, and it’s been fun to experience that.”

It’s important to point out that the relationship is still relatively new, so it’s normal for Travis to feel somewhat insecure about some things. At the end of the day, the couple love each other very much, and their mutual support and admiration is beautiful to see.

This year’s Grammy Awards belonged to women, and the undeniable queen was Taylor Swift. Just when the world thought she’d already reached her highest point, she proved that she could go even higher. Taylor Swift left the Grammy Awards ceremony as a 14-time Grammy winner and as the only artist in history to win Album of the Year four times. And if that wasn’t enough, she also used one of her acceptance speeches to announce the imminent release of her upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department.

There were lots of incredible moments during the ceremony, such as Miley Cyrus finally winning her first Grammy, Phoebe Bridgers getting the most awards of the night, or Billie Eilish’s moving speech with her brother Finneas as she won Song of the Year. But Taylor was, without a doubt, the star of the night. One thing people noticed was that Travis Kelce wasn’t by her side, but as readers probably know, he’s very busy preparing for the Super Bowl, so fans and Swifties seemingly forgave him. Travis still kept an eye on Taylor the whole night though, and couldn’t be more proud of her accomplishments.

Taylor Swift fans are counting down the days until her brand new album The Tortured Poets Department is released on April 19.

 

And on Sunday the Style hitmaker, 34, shared some lyrics from one of the new songs – which appeared to reference her breakup with ex boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

Taylor was in a relationship with actor, 33, for six years before their shock split in early 2023. She is now dating NFL star Travis Kelce.

And now Taylor has seemingly shared some brand new lyrics with her fans while promoting a special edition of her new record.

Taking to X Taylor penned: ‘I wish I could un-recall how we almost had it all…’

She then added: ‘Pre-order THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT on phantom clear vinyl now exclusively at Target.’

Taylor’s have been going wild predicting digs at her famous exes after the Tortured Poets Department track list was revealed in February.

She announced her 11th studio album at the Grammy Awards earlier this year after shared the track listing for the record, which includes collaborations with Post Malone and Florence + the Machine.

After the track list was revealed fans were going mad for the song names, linking some of them to her former boyfriends Joe and Harry Styles.

One eagle-eyed Twitter user pointed out that there is a track called So Long, London – which could refer to British-born Joe.

One penned: ‘Joe alwyn and his publicist seeing ‘so long, london’ just drop on the tracklist…’

Another referring to Joe read: ‘so long, london, the smallest man who ever lived, my boy only breaks his favorite toys, i can fix him (no really i can) BYE JOE ALWYN.’

Another fan wrote: ‘SO LONG LONDON?? I LOVE YOU ITS RUINING MY LIFE?? Joe Alwyn count your days #THETORTUEDPOETSDEPARTMENT.’

In addition some think the album title is a reference to Joe too and could be a savage nod to the group chat Joe shared with pals Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott.

Back in 2022, Joe revealed a mutual friend created a WhatsApp group with him and Paul called The Tortured Man Club.

They later explained to Variety that Andrew ‘started the group,’ with Paul saying: ‘He’s just on it every day. He’s just on it by himself.’

Joe jokingly added: ‘Just messaging himself good mornings.’

Fans went wild, with one penning on X: ‘THIS IS THE BREAKUP ALBUM’

Another wrote: ‘I hope for Joe’s sake that he still has that group chat. I feel like he’s gonna need it’

Others made the connection to singer Harry Styles, 30, after the track list was revealed.

One noted a song called ‘loml’ which could be a reference to one of Harry’s songs called Love of My Life.

A fan shared a screenshot of the songs next to each other and wrote on Twitter: ‘No im sorry…’

Another fan pointed out that one of Taylor’s new tracks is called But Daddy I Love Him – after Harry was once seen wearing a T-shirt with the logo But Daddy I Love Him on it.

The fan shared the snap of Harry in the outfit alongside the track name and excitedly wrote: ‘EXCUSE ME ?!?!!!!!!!’

Taylor and Harry dated from late 2012 until early 2013, and the star has penned several songs about him in the past.

In February Taylor shared the full track list for her brand new album Tortured Poets Department which includes collaborations with two top artists.

Post Malone and Florence + the Machine will feature on the record which will be released next Friday.

Taylor took to Instagram to share a photo of some artwork for the record, which featured a black and white photo of herself and ‘I love you, it’s ruining my life’ written over her shoulder as well as the list of songs.

Side A begins with the Post Malone collaboration, Fortnight, and is followed by the album’s title track, My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys and Down Bad.

While Side B has So Long, London, But Daddy I Love Him, Fresh Out the Slammer, and Florida!!!, with the latter song featuring Florence + the Machine.

Side C offers Guilty as Sin?, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?, I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can), and ‘Ioml’.

The final part of the album, Side D, has I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, The Alchemy, Clara Bow and bonus track The Manuscript.

In reference to the album’s release date, the post was simply captioned: ‘April 19 [white heart emoji].’

French Montana claimed that Taylor Swift turned down $9 million to perform a show in the United Arab Emirates.

Last month, the “Pop That” rapper, 39, shared a screenshot of text messages from someone who offered him $1 million to perform and another person, whose name Montana censored, to perform for $9 million in December.

“Somebody just sent me a show offer who y’all think the 9 million for lol?” he wrote atop the messages in the now-deleted post.

 

The “Unforgettable” emcee — born Karim Kharbouch — claimed that person was the “Bad Blood” singer, 34, in a new interview with VladTV.

“They had a show offer for me and Taylor — her $9 million, me $1 million,” he said. “Somewhere in Emirates.”

He pop star made Forbes’ billionaire list earlier this month.Getty Images for TAS Rights Management. It’s unknown why Swift allegedly turned down the offer.

Page Six has reached out to her rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. The money definitely isn’t an issue for the pop star, as she was named a billionaire earlier this month.

The Grammy winner’s estimated $1.1 billion fortune came from earnings made from her Eras Tour, her music catalog and her real estate portfolio.

“The most famous newcomer is, of course, Taylor Swift, whose record-breaking, five-continent Eras Tour is the first to surpass $1 billion in revenue,” reported Forbes.

“The 34-year-old pop star amassed an estimated $1.1 billion fortune, based on earnings from the blockbuster tour, the value of her music catalog and her real estate portfolio.”

Additionally, Swift became the “first musician to hit ten-figure status” solely based on her songs and performances. The “Cruel Summer” songstress has been spending quality time with her beau, NFL star Travis Kelce.

Swift is currently on a short break from her record-breaking Eras Tour, which became the highest-grossing tour by any musician of all time, earning more than $1 billion, per Rolling Stone.

The tour is set to resume on May 9 in Paris and will wrap up in December with three consecutive shows in Vancouver.

Until then, the “Cruel Summer” songstress has been spending quality time with her beau, NFL star Travis Kelce, who is currently in his offseason after winning the 2024 Super Bowl.

 

 

 

A lip reader has revealed Taylor Swift’s conversations with Travis Kelce at Coachella, revealing all the fun the pop star had at the iconic music festival this past weekend.

 

Jackie Gonzalez, a deaf TikToker who posts videos of her lip reading celebrities, has shared what Swift, 34, allegedly said in a series of videos taken from the festival.

According to Jackie, Taylor was having the absolute time of her life as she introduced fans to her boyfriend, 34, cheered on the musical artists, sang her own song Karma, before declaring she was ‘drunk.’

The video began with Taylor walking with her boyfriend’s arm slung around her shoulder as she enthusiastically gushed to fans, ‘Hi!’

Despite being an A-lister, Taylor couldn’t believe she was receiving the star treatment as she and her boyfriend were placed right in front of the stage.

‘Oh my God, we’re in the front!?’ Taylor allegedly said in disbelief.

She was also adorably seen introducing one fan to her boyfriend. ‘This is Travis!’ she told one concert goer.

Taylor also sang along to her own song, Karma, before enthusiastically letting out a cheer.

At one point, the giddy star was seen telling Travis: ‘That was the best thing to happen tonight. Sorry I’m drunk.’

She then departed the area with her boyfriend, cheering.

Jackie captioned the video: ‘check on your swifties, were not okay,’ along with the disclaimer, ‘Lip reading is not a reliable form of communication, all statements are alleged.’

This is the first time Swift has attended the music festival since 2016.

Meanwhile Kelce was seen at the event in 2022 and 2023 with some of his friends.

Taylor had quite the epic weekend attending the festival with her boyfriend.

Among the highlights was a run-in with Real Housewives Of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice.

Taylor posed for a selfie with the Bravolebrity in a photo that was taken by Teresa’s husband Luis Ruelas.

Travis was also seen effortlessly lifting Taylor into the air as they danced to a set by DJ Dom Dolla.

The pair were also spotted watching Taylor’s pal Jack Antonoff’s band, Bleachers, perform at the festival on Saturday.

The couple were also seen attending the celeb-packed Neon Carnival bash.

Kelce recently told People that he is a ‘Coachella guy’.

‘I love going to Coachella. I love live music in general. So you might see me pop up over there at some point.

‘I’m not sure if I’ll go to a weekend, one or two, or if I even have time knowing my schedule’s filling up pretty quick before we get started back up for football here.’

Taylor and Travis have been dating since September 2023.

 

 

I don’t imagine the recent Super Bowl victory party featuring Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs was a dry affair.

 

In fact, Swift herself drew some attention for chugging a beer while on the Jumbotron at the game.

While Swift hasn’t indicated any desire to remove alcohol from her life permanently, her decision to quit temporarily ahead of her blockbuster Eras tour offers an important lesson for anyone looking to boost their workplace or entrepreneurial productivity and success.

But as she’s on a two months break from the Eras Tour, it seems she has temporarily started drinking again and she has been spotted at the Coachella with Travis Kelce drinking.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce packed on the PDA during the Neon Carnival event, which took place in Indio, California, on Saturday night.

The 34-year-old hitmaker and the 34-year-old professional football player made no secret of their affection for one another at the party, as they were spotted while locking lips in a video that was shared on TikTok.

The Karma singer and her boyfriend – who skipped the first night of the Coachella festival – were seen while supporting her frequent collaborator, Jack Antonoff, while his band Bleachers played earlier in the evening, reports TMZ.

According to the media outlet, Swift and Kelce were seen while dancing and hugging each other during the set.

The Grammy Award-winning songwriter went on to show her support for her friend and collaborator Ice Spice, who also performed at the festival.

Swift and Kelce started seeing each other in September of 2023, and she began attending his games that same month.

The False God singer had been linked to several individuals in the past, and her relationship with Joe Alwyn lasted for a total of six years.

The professional football player maintained an on-off relationship with sports journalist Kayla Nicole that lasted from 2017 until 2022.

He eventually moved on with the singer, and they made their first public appearance as a couple in October of last year.

Swift and Kelce have since engaged in several public displays of PDA ever since they revealed their romance to the world.

The happy couple became the subject of attention after they locked lips following the conclusion of Super Bowl LVIII, which took place earlier this year.

The professional athlete recently opened up about his relationship with the singer during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, where he stated that she had greatly influenced his playlists.

The tight end stated that it had ‘been fun to experience her taste in music, for sure.’

Kelce went on to speak about his admiration for the I Can See You singer’s creative process.

‘She’s so amazing at what she does. And to find that creativity to see where she likes to pull things from and just, really, how she listens to music is very eye-opening for me. It’s been fun to hear her take on it,’ he said.

The performer then discussed how he felt as if both his, as well as his girlfriend, were ‘very career-driven.’

‘We both love what we do, and any chance that I can show my support to her – and knowing that she’s showing me all the support in the world throughout the season – it’s just been an amazing experience,’ he said.
